Centrum Silver Supports Healthy Whole-Body Aging
As your patients age, their nutritional needs also change. While a healthy and balanced diet is key to meeting recommended daily values, getting the necessary vitamins and minerals needed from food alone can be a challenge. To help fill that gap, Centrum Silver products contain a range of vitamins and minerals to support the body and mind.
Centrum Silver offers a range of formulations to fit your patients’ needs:
- Centrum Silver Adult contains key nutrients to support the general well-being of adults 50 years and older, including vitamins thiamin, riboflavin, B6 and B12 for energy support.*
- Centrum Silver Men supplies essential vitamins to support the needs of men 50 and older, including vitamin B6 and magnesium for muscle function and B vitamins for heart health.*+
- Centrum Silver Women supplies specific levels of key nutrients to support the needs of women 50 and older, including calcium, vitamin D and other nutrients that support overall wellness.*
Centrum Silver Is Clinically Proven to Support Memory in Older Adults
Three large-scale, long-term clinical trials with over 5,000 participants have shown daily use of Centrum Silver supports cognitive aging in older adults compared to a placebo.⧺1,3
- The COSMOS-Mind study showed that daily intake of Centrum Silver over 3 years, as compared to a placebo, significantly improved performance on global cognitive function, memory and executive function tests in older adults. It was estimated that daily use may slow cognitive aging by up to 60%.†
- The COSMOS-Web study demonstrated that daily use of Centrum Silver, as compared to a placebo, significantly improved performance on memory tests in older adults, with benefits seen in just one year. The difference in performance between Centrum Silver and placebo was estimated to reflect a difference of 3.1 years of age-related change.††
- The COSMOS-Clinic study demonstrated that daily use of Centrum Silver over 2 years led to a statistically significant favorable change in performance on memory tests as compared to placebo.
- The COSMOS-Clinic Meta-analysis examined data of over 5,000 non-overlapping participants and showed that daily use of Centrum Silver led to a significantly more favorable change in memory and global cognitive function among older adults than placebo.
The combined analysis of these studies establishes that daily use of Centrum Silver can benefit memory.

40+ Years of Nutritional Science
The first Centrum multivitamin launched in 1978 as “Complete from A to Zinc”, and it was the first major brand to feature key nutrients like beta-carotene, lutein, and lycopene. However, the origins of Centrum date back even further to the 1950’s when Dr. Leon Ellenbogen began studying how therapeutic levels of vitamins could potentially treat cancer patients. Based on discoveries made in his research, the idea for Centrum emerged. In the early 1970s, Dr. Ellenbogen decided to create a full-spectrum vitamin plus mineral supplement to support nutrition and complement a healthy lifestyle. Since then, the Centrum brand has grown. Backed by over 40 years of science, Centrum now offers a full line of gender- and age-specific products and continues to innovate around the world.
